Robert Nesta Marley was born poor on February 6, 1945, in Jamaica and through his music brought worldwide attention to that small Island nation. He knew much turmoil throughout his life, not least the political upheaval that was almost ever-present in his homeland. His pacifist ways supply the most important building block in the period of his life that the film is based around.

After a botched assassination attempt on his life and concerns for the safety of his wife and children, they leave the island and locate overseas where he works on and records his albums Exodus and Kenya. Exodus went on to become one of his largest-selling albums of original material. Marley is intrinsically linked to the music form Reggae and remains its most popular proponent to this day.

People in the West easily overlook the importance of this man and the message of peace he never gave up on. The Marley family’s participation in the film had sanded down a number of the rough edges that existed in his life and the film must be seen more as a celebration than a forensic examination. Rich with the original songs of Bob Marley and the Wailers, One Love focuses on a period of Marley’s career where he was one of the most inspirational musicians on the planet.

The film’s pedigree is a solid one with the show’s original creator David Chase and former episode writer Lawrence Konner penning the story and screenplay. Setting its timeline as a prequel was also a wise move and it takes full advantage of the salty language and unruly race relations of the time.

Building the main storyline on a character, Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), that was never seen on the television show gives hardcore fans more involvement. As does the casting of the late great James Gandolfini’s son Michael as the young Tony. His scenes are quite moving even with their limited screen time.

When the nostalgia of spending the evening with some of your favourite fictitious criminals wears off, you are left with a slight feeling of need. That to get the full effect of the film you need to know the Sopranos’ world intimately. For those with that knowledge, it’s an engaging ride and one filled with easter eggs that pay dividends.
